On Sat. April 12th, the St. James of the Valley 8th grade will be hosting a first annual alumni basketball game. We are hoping to raise money for the class trip at the end of April.

We are looking to bring back our Alumni currently in high school to participate in the game and half time show. If you have a son or daughter currently in high school who attended St. James, we would love to have them or even to come cheer their old classmates on!!

This should be a very fun night for all! We will be selling pizza, snacks and baked goods. We will have split the pot and other games to participate in. We will have crafts set up the science lab for the little ones as well! We hope to see many alumni families there!

Please contact the St. James office (stjamesvalley.org) and leave a message for Josephine Petrey or Lisa McDonald with your high school age son or daughter's name, grade and contact information if they want to be a part of the show. Thanks again!

Parents of students who will be in either 5th or 6th grade in the WW school district next school year:

Since the 5th 6th grade building has been rated "emergency academic status", you now have an option to look into the Ohio Ed Choice Scholarship option to send your child to certain private schools is the area if you cannot afford a private education.

Just putting the information out there. If you do qualify for one, you do have to still interview and be accepted at these private schools to make sure your child is a fit. They must meet certain qualifications such as good grades, etc.. Some do not accept the scholarship, but some do. Just something to consider if you are unhappy.

St. James of the Valley is one school currently that has spots open in those two grades for next school year and perhaps other schools have current openings as well.

You can find information about St. James of the Valley at stjamesvalley.org. Most of our student body resides in the Village of Greenhills and Springfield Township and the students are transported by Winton Woods bussing.

If you missed our Open House, be sure to call and schedule a private tour during the day as well as have your child shadow. Most of our students are from Greenhills and Springfield Township and are transported by WW bussing. Our school is minutes away from the Village of Greenhills in the heart of beautiful Wyoming. We have many families from OLR already attending and we are now part of a community parish region with OLR.

If we go that route our kids would be transferring between the 3d and 4th grade, but would likely each stay where they are now (private, non-catholic) until that age.

I know that these are all good schools, but surely there are differences among them, and tradeoffs (i.e. bigger vs. smaller). I would appreciate any advice or insight that people might have to share. Thanks!
